- INTRODUCTION : A book to Provoke the Christian Political Imagination - SECTION 1 - Before There Were Kings and Presidents : A good creation of love and beauty- takes a turn for the worse, landing it in a murderous chaos. What to do? Flood it and start fresh? Build a tower that reaches heaven? Appoint an adventurous elderlv couple to load the people out of the nations to the Promised land? Something has to save humanity from themselves. - SECTION 2 – A New Kind of Commander-in-Chief: The construction of a. set-apart people into a living temple of blessing is going so-so. The solution: God puts skin on to show the world what love looks like. But here’s the catch: the Prince of Peace is born as a refugee in the middle of a genocide and is rescued from the trash bin of imperial executions to stand at the pinnacle of this peculiar people. A strange way to start a revolution... - SECTION 3 - When, the Umpire Got Baptized : Flags on altars, images of the gods on money... Caesar is colonizing our imaginations. What happened to the slaughtered Lamb, the Prince of Peace??? There seems to be another gospel spreading across the empire... Two kingdoms are colliding. What is a Jesus-follower to do when the empire gets baptized? - SECTION 4 - A Peculiar Party : Snapshots of the political imagination. The question is not ARE WE POLITICAL? but HOW ARE WE POLITICAL? ...not. ARE WE RELEVANT? but ARE WE PECULIAR? The answer lies not just in what we believe but in how we embody what we believe. Our greatest challenge is to maintain the distinctiveness of our faith in a world gone mad. All of creation waits, groans, for a people who lives GOD’S DREAM with fresh imagination. - APPENDIXES: 1. How the Creation Story deepened Israel’s Identity as Set-Apart and Anti-Imperial / 2. Mohammed for President? Pluralism and uniqueness / 3. Subordination and Revolution: What About Rom. 13? / 4. Litany of Resistance These appendixes can be found at the end of the book (of course) and on the website: JesusForPresident.org. |
